Guarantee the energy saving/production in buildings

Pay for performance business models are encouraged to be applied for installing energy technologies. For example, a pay per performance service applied to renewable energies can consist in that an energy service company supplies, installs and maintains a solar thermal (ST) or photovoltaic (PV) system, guaranteeing an annual solar production to the owner/tenants during the length of the contract. By using this model, it is guaranteed that ST or PV systems operate correctly at least during the contract signed between the energy service company and the owner/neighbourhood community of the building.
